So after watching the video, I disassembled and inspected my pump finding the unloader valve stuck. Cleaned everything in vinegar and used a little silicone grease on the unloader valve. Fourteen year old pump once again washed my house good as new. Thanks for the video, saved me $100 and shipping time, sorry Mr retailer, you lose this time, UA-cam wins.
Awesome!!
Great Video, Thanks. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for the visit!
I believe PB Blaster is petroleum based so it should not be used on plastics or rubber. Great video BTW!
That is a great tip. Thank you!
I’d still like to know definitively why the original pump failed.
It’s always good to add a filter screen to the inlet water side to prevent debris from damaging the pump. I got some hose washers with built in stainless cone screens I add to every pressure washer I work on or use.
Thats a good idea. We have hard water around here and the sediment corrodes the internals is my best guess.
I very much agree and I even flush hose first also
Can flush with RV antifreeze will help with hard water after use
Iv been working on equipment for over 40 years..3 things will kill a pump..one is not enough water per minute..two hard water such as iron, lime calcium..three letting the engine run too long without pulling the trigger..the water in the pump will get hot..and the heat will destroy the pump..I see them everyday...if your only going to use the washer once in awhile, you should use pump ease to clean the pump, then store the unit.
People need to flush their water hose before connecting to pump, grass and bugs will stick valves and unloaded 😊😊
Good point
my Friend im having trouble with my pressure washer i was wondering if i can replace the pump with a higher psi pump but will the motor handle a higher psi replacement or do PW motors have specific requirements for pumps?
If it's relatively close it would work but the motor would bog down if it's too much load
There are six check valve hard to get out but
Thanks!
easy to get out with paint can opener that needs the sides ground down slightly. check valves are of poor quality.
Could you have replaced the o-rings inside of the pump. At 29:57 you said something about "the rubber inside of the pump just basically gave up the ghost". Were you referring to the o-rings? I would think not because I'm sure you would have tried replacing them. What "rubber" were you referring to?
Thanks for the video. I have the same Honda engine on my Campbell Hausfeld PW2575 pressure washer.
To be honest, I didn't try the exposed o rings as I think the ones inside the valves were shot. I think those are seals. Several people have mentioned just soaking the unloader would have worked but I needed to get it back to the owner fast
@@RayofallTrades putting the issue of the o rings aside because most times they really are ok I think maybe the things you didn’t take out of the cylinders could have been the problem. The last time you said you messed with them you said you broke them. Well, maybe they were already broken. But you would have needed more time if you discovered these were broken as well.
@@markcastrovinci6074 yes those are the valves (check valves). Thanks for watching!
Can u clean it w/ brake cleaner also?
I would think that would be too harsh but I really don’t know
Stuck unloader valve. Use vinegar to clean all parts, cheaper and mo betta.
Thanks for the tip!
i loaned mine to my neighbor who couldnt get it to run, he filled the soap container with gasoline, is it ruined?
If it never ran, then the gas should not have gotten into the pump
Probably not but your relationship with your neighbor should be.
Presher washer
Yes pressure washer
Why are you wearing them gay gloves! Real mechanics don't wear gloves! LOL Over 30 years as a heavy duty mechanic, no freekin gloves!
LOL! 1/2 the comments are about why I don’t wear ppe and 1/2 are your way. Guess it’s true what they say about pleasing people….
